Wendy's Has By Far The Fastest Drive-Thru Service

Wendy's has the quickest drive-thru service compared to six of
its competitors, with wait times averaging two minutes and 14
seconds, according to a recent study by QSR
Magazine.

Taco Bell and Taco John's came in second and third place behind
Wendy's with a 158-second wait and a 181-second wait,
respectively, the annual study found.

In fourth place
was McDonald's (189 seconds), followed by Burger King
(198 seconds), Chick-fil-A (204 seconds) and Krystal (218
seconds).

Every restaurant had a slower drive-thru line this year compared
to last year, except for Burger King.

McDonald’s experienced its slowest average speed of service
in the study's 15-year history, while Chick-fil-A’s was its
slowest showing since 1998 and Krystal’s was the slowest since
1999.

Insula Research, which helped conduct the
study, attributed the longer wait times to expanded
menus and more complicated food and drink offerings, such as
McDonald's Pumpkin Spice Latte and Chocolate Chip Frappe.

"It's not just a couple different products that employees are
worrying about anymore," Insula Research President Brian Baker
said.
